Question

$$\frac{8x+3}{2}+\frac{2x-7}{2}=$$

Evaluate

$5x-2$

Short Solution Steps

Since $\frac{8x+3}{2}$ and $\frac{2x-7}{2}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{8x+3+2x-7}{2}$$

Combine like terms in $8x+3+2x-7$.

$$\frac{10x-4}{2}$$

Divide each term of $10x-4$ by $2$ to get $-2+5x$.

$$-2+5x$$

Expand

$5x-2$

Short Solution Steps
